Chapter: Chapter 4 - The Inn

Characters: Arianna, Frankie, Vector

“Shy” is…. One word for it, I guess.

SparkyDragon

I mean, there’s not really a better way to explain it that comes to mind immediately. “If you look into his eyes, you will be filled with fear and possibly the sudden urge to destroy him” isn’t how I’d introduce a friend.

Well…maybe I would, but not small adorable ones who actually DID do that.
Kat

Arianna did you seriously almost introduce Vector as Twitchy? x’D
- David Argall
  
  It takes time to adjust to a new name, especially when the old one fit so well, as with the Chinaman who objected to being called “Sneeze”. But it was hard word to get people to use his proper name of Ah Choo,
Kryspix

Vector: she knows my name!
Caleb Child

Don’t be so shy, Vector!
He’s missing an eye, so when he sees you, he’ll only HALF want to kill you.
Dart Devious

(“Shy” is…. One word for it, I guess.) I think scarred works too.
- Zixinus
  
  Terrified out of his bowels is more like it. He lives in a world, alone, where any stranger will most likely kill him on sight for justifiable reasons. While he is completely defenseless. As far as personal realities go, that is one of the worse kinds.
  
  If you think about that, it makes sense why he is sticking to Arianna: she is the one stranger that is an exception to the rule.
  
  To make it worse, he is utterly dependent on others. Or rather, on just Arianna. Take bets how little wilderness experience he has, how likely he would survive on his own AND HE KNOWS THIS.
  - Dart Devious
    
    Justifiable reasons? When is it just to kill?
    - Zixinus
      
      Maybe not justifiable, but a “good” reason: he looks like a demon, a monster. The point of the concept of a monster is that they need to be killed.
      
      “Justifiable” may mean that, as far as he could figure out, nobody will be held to account if he is killed. He isn’t a person in people’s eyes, but a monster. It’s in all the books he reads, because authors love monsters and the simplicity they present.
      
      Of course, he doesn’t know that most other people would be rather afraid of him and would run away rather than be murderous.
Pibbles

Vector will be fine as soon as he masters the Over the eye hood technique.

Without bumping into things.
- Zixinus
  
  He should get a large roll of bandages, a thin piece of cloth (preferably the same color as the glow of his eyes) and a white stick. An injured, mostly-blind cripple is harmless and will not get much inspection. Get a mask for later use, keep the white stick and blindfold.
  
  But that would only be really necessary for the city, when among others. For the wilderness, he should get comfortable with himself.
  - Pibbles
    
    Yeah, but there are bears out in the wilderness. And we all know how they are…
    
    …Judemental pricks…
    - Zixinus
      
      Nah, bears just want to eat you. Or chase you away.
      
      Humans gauge you up, decide whether they like you or not on the spot and throw at you a bunch of labels without thinking about it, because that’s how they work. They will pretend to be civil and to like you only to screw you over when its convenient.
      
      With bears, at least you know what’s going on.
      - Quetzalrofl
        
        Plus they have that code of honor that prohibits them from beating the crap out of someone who’s gone limp
This guy

Vector!
He’s got direction and,
